Guerlain Lui is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk. Lui opens with Clove and Pear, settles into a heart of Carnation and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Smoke, Woody, Musk, and Leather. Guerlain's Lui carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Divisive, yet compelling. Lui is a smoky-sweet vanilla with a pronounced clove kick, evoking a vintage, almost root beer vibe. Some adore its refined warmth, others find it flat or too fleeting. A true love-it-or-hate-it Guerlain.

About

Lui opens with a fleeting pear, quickly giving way to a prominent, spicy clove and powdery carnation. This floral-spice heart mellows into a balsamic embrace of warm, creamy vanilla and benzoin, underscored by rich woody notes, soft leather, and an elusive hint of smoke. It's a complex, smooth composition.
